The controversial HPV vaccine has been associated with other side-effects by parents

Following the 2008 campaign to bring HPV vaccines to schools, rates of the cancer-causing virus have plummeted by 90% in Scotland.

A Scottish Government spokesman said: “The evidence which has been reviewed, and continues to be reviewed by the bodies from whom the Scottish Government and the other UK administrations take their advice, shows that the HPV vaccine has a good safety profile and is effective.”

And a statement from the Medicines & Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHPR) said a recent review found no credible evidence of a link between the HPV vaccine and chronic pain.

A spokesperson said: “The HPV vaccine is the most effective way for young girls and women to protect themselves against cervical cancer.

“As with all vaccines, the safety of the HPV vaccine is under constant review. Every report of a suspected side effect is taken seriously.

“Health authorities around the world, including UK experts, the World Health Organisation, the US Centre for Disease Control and the European Medicines Regulator have recently extensively reviewed the vaccine’s safety and have concluded that there is no credible evidence of a link between the HPV vaccine and a range of chronic illnesses.”

And a spokeswoman for Merck Sharp & Dohme Limited, manufacturer’s of Gardasil, said: “Patient safety is MSD’s highest priority and we encourage people to self-report or report on behalf of others, any changes to their health which may or may not be medically confirmed.

“These reports are taken extremely seriously and are used to monitor long-term safety, however, they do not necessarily prove a causal relationship with the vaccine, but provide MSD and health authorities with information and a line of enquiry for further investigation.

“Gardasil is the result of over 10 years of research and development.

“The safety of the vaccine has continued to be evaluated in several large post-license surveillance studies in more than one million people.

“While no vaccine or medicine is completely without risk, leading international health organisations throughout the world continue to recommend routine HPV vaccination.”
